Table of contents for June 2019 in CAR UK

Autonomous capability. Check. Clear hints about future production EVs. Check. Hedges growing out of it. Er… check. The Audi AI:Me is the third show car from Ingolstad’s AI sub-brand and is billed as Audi’s answer to near-future urban transport. It follows on from the AIcon design study and epic PB18 supercar concept, and there’s an unnamed fourth AI concept car set to take to the stand at the 2019 Frankfurt motor show in September. It also looks backwards to 1999’s ahead-of-its-time A2. Interior designer James Nissen agreed with CAR in Shanghai that the AI:Me has ‘some shared values and functional similarities’ with the aluminium-bodied premium supermini. But not many similarities; it’s more than 400mm longer and 200mm wider than the A2, with a long 2.77m wheelbase – good for seating…

There’s the new kid… Senna? 1984 Monaco Grand Prix Nigel Mansell leads early on but crashes out, to the frustration of his boss, who calls him a list of unprintables. Rookie Senna in the tail-end Toleman chases down an Alain Prost desperately signalling to the stewards that it’s too wet to continue. Senna passes Prost before the flag but the result’s declared from the previous lap, gifting Prost the win. And so the beef begins… A raging duel… for second place 1979 French Grand Prix Gilles Villeneuve throws crazy shapes in his Ferrari as he fights like a man possessed to finish ahead of René Arnoux’s Renault. Meanwhile, up the road, Jabouille takes the first win for Renault in F1, and the first for a turbocharged engine. Carbon carnage! 1998…

Apps that pair your smartphone to your car are not a rarity these days. At best, they let you keep useful data from your car to hand when you’re not on board, and they load your car’s infotainment system with your phone’s finer features. At worst they’re gimmicky, glitchy and of limited use. Good or bad, they’re generally only possible if your car’s infotainment system is modern and high-spec – if you’re in the dark ages of analogue dials and cigarette lighters you can forget it. Except that VW has come up with a system that can bring a bit of 2019 to some slightly older models. The VW Connect app is a user-friendly system that extends some of the benefits of state-of-the-art connectivity to cars from as long ago…

‘Out of second-gear bends, the engine tests the traction control to its absolute limit’ This is a big ask: £40k for no additional performance. Same top speed. Same acceleration. A fraction less weight. Great brakes. A lot of carbonfibre. And a track-biased ride quality that could make you question the wisdom of going for this new range-topper when there are now so many other AMG GT variants to choose from, most of them more versatile than this one. The GT R Pro is a limited-edition, track-focused (new wheels, tweaked suspension and aero, rollcage, lightweight buckets, four-point harnesses) flagship priced at £188,345, with first deliveries reaching the UK in July. It sits at the top of a newly refreshed two-door range that now starts at £104,195 for the regular GT Coupe,…

VW’s 1.5-litre Evo four will join the UK range but no diesels. Ahem Engineered on the same platform as the VW Polo (MQB A0, code fans), the T-Cross is positioned as the smallest SUV in VW’s line-up, although its dimensions aren’t far off the already established T-Roc. VW’s marketing brains say the T-Roc’s aimed at a fashion-conscious crowd, while the T-Cross is a more practical proposition, likely to appeal to young families (helped by its standard-fit sliding rear seat bench) and older buyers alike (high roof and driving position, good all-round visibility). Whatever, it’s a characterful design, with Tetris -graphic tail-lights and a jaunty range of paint colours, with matching wheels and dashboard panels an option. On occasionally rough, cyclist-choked and generally pretty spectacular Mallorcan mountain roads, the high-rise Polo…

White goods I know how Alistair Drysdale feels (Letter of the Month, April). When my CAR subscription came up for renewal recently, I too had a ‘wobble’. Why? Because CAR’s pages are increasingly dominated by EVs, and EVs are in the main boring. Cars are becoming domestic appliances. There’s a reason why you can’t buy Fridge-Freezer Monthly or Practical Vacuum Cleaner and it must give CAR staff sleepless nights. Time for some articles on timeless classics. Phil Thomas Old glory I think it would be cool if y’all had old cars in y’all’s magazine especially from the ’50s. Harrison Dougherty Not all EVs are created equal, and I’d argue there’s nothing boring about the i-Pace, Porsche Taycan or VW ID. BM A8ers gonna A8 I enjoyed Tim Pollard’s Audi A8…

Illustration by Peter Strain ‘Cars give freedom, and when your speed is dictated by software, some of the magic is lost’ The maximum speed of the fastest new super-cars will take a serious plunge from 2022. The next-generation Ferrari 812 Superfast will be the 812 Notveryfast. The new Aston Martin Vanquish will be the Aston Vanquished. Goodness knows how new Bugattis will be marketed in 2022. A 250mph-plus maximum speed has long been Bugatti’s stand-out story. In three years, the latest Bugatti Chiron will max at 70mph on UK public roads. This is 191mph less than now. By 2022, new F8 Tributos and 720S McLarens will be spluttering along at 70mph on the motorway, while Granny Goggin in her Micra powers by in lane three. White Van Man in his…

THE CURVEBALL Lexus GS F The leftfield super-saloon the world forgot. Time for a reminder THE CURRENT CAR BMW330d Great family wagon, but lacks excitement for our pilot THE USED OPTION BMWM5 Ballistic performance, balletic handling – but a brave used buy? THE NEW OPTION Mercedes-AMG C43 4Matic Estate One step below the bonkers C63. Still unhinged but more usable For many, a BMW 3-series Touring is the one car to do it all – especially in magisterial six-cylinder 330d form. But with a history of fast cars and flying hours in Hawks and Harriers, CAR reader Ben Plank craves just a little bit more on-road excitement. He’s looking at a budget of approximately £50k and needs four doors for his family and usable boot capacity – but, crucially, he…

In some ways the Lexus is the most memorable car here, and it has real esoteric appeal. ‘I think it’s the sharpest-looking car,’ Ben says. ‘It looks the part, and the quality of the carbonfibre trim is special – but that dead spot in the power delivery at lower revs and the overall straight-line pace just isn’t enough for me.’ The Mercedes-AMG puts up a far sterner fight than a car from the class below the M5 might be expected to – after all, the C43’s natural rivals are the likes of the Audi S4 and BMW 440i, rather than a full-on super-saloon. But its blend of easygoing user-friendliness in day-to-day driving, all-out pace in all weathers and exuberant character in Sport mode has given Ben real pause for thought.…

RANGE ROVER EVOQUE Baby’s back on the catwalk The new Range Rover Evoque looks so much like the old one, it’s easy to overlook the fact that this isn’t a facelift, but actually an all-new model. You might skip past the fact it’s on JLR’s new Premium Transverse Architecture, that it introduces new mild hybrid drivetrains, has much improved infotainment and shares only door hinges with the outgoing car. But why rock the boat with an entirely different look when the last Evoque stands as the fastest-selling Land Rover in history, with around 800,000 sales since 2011? You wouldn’t. So Evoque Mk2 sits within an almost identical footprint, and carefully evolves the design of its successful predecessor while borrowing tricks from the one-size-up Velar, with its smooth, pared-back lines. There…

‘You just know you could buy a Lexus and it’ll go on for years and years’RICHARD LUFF Our Lexus RX L is the company’s first seven-seater in Europe, and word is slowly spreading. It’s telling that none of our reader panel had heard of it, though. We gathered together three likely prospects to judge the large SUV on its own merits – a couple of potential in-market seven-seat SUV buyers plus an owner of a Lexus GS450h, who’s already converted to the Lexus lexicon. Would our panel see eye to eye? Or would it be polite, premium fisticuffs at dawn? Only one way to find out… Richard, who works for one of the UK’s biggest payment card companies, has never really considered a Lexus before and was intrigued to see…

Alex Tapley It’s based on the Giulia’s platform, remember, so it really is a saloon car in SUV clothing The Alfa Stelvio joined an off-road sludge-fest for a future CAR story, acting as camera car as we shot the new Suzuki Jimny, Jeep Wrangler and Mercedes-Benz G63. In this kind of company, the Stelvio is a bit of a wishy-washy, lily-livered city-dweller – it’s based on the Giulia’s platform, remember, so it really is a saloon car in SUV clothing. Drill into the nerdy 4x4 details – departure angles, suspension articulation – and the Stelvio can’t compete. Heck, Alfa doesn’t even publish the Stelvio’s ground clearance in millimetres! What kind of off-roader is that? Well, in truth it’s not any kind of off-roader. Look at those 20-inch wheels and Michelin…

Who wants their mid-engined supercar to go big on luxury and practicality? McLaren is about to find out as its launches the GT, a £165k grand tourer that breaks from Woking’s Sports Series, Super Series and Ultimate Series hierarchy. It’s aimed at Ferrari Portofino, Aston DB11 and Porsche 911 Turbo S buyers. The GT takes its lead from the 570GT, essentially a 570S with a side-opening glass hatch and dynamics softened to suit longer journeys. The 570GT accounted for around 10-15 per cent of Sports Series sales but is being discontinued. ‘Customers told us they wanted more differentiation, more power, and more luggage space, luxury and refinement,’ says Ian Digman, head of product management. The GT has targeted improvements over the 570GT in all areas, with the largest gains in…

The manual’s acceleration to 62mph is 0.4 seconds slower at 3.9 seconds. Maximum power output (503bhp) and top speed (195mph) are unchanged. Aston says the AMR is focused on an engaging driving experience. Just 200 AMRs will be built, of which 59 will be Vantage 59 special editions in green and lime paint with unique interior detailing. The name alludes to Aston’s Le Mans victory with a DBR1 60 years ago. The Vantage AMR will cost £149,995, compared to £120,900 for the automatic. The Vantage 59 will put you back £164,995. No price has yet been announced for 2020’s Vantage in manual guise. Finally: a second-generation Aston Martin Vantage with three pedals. This new AMR model is the first version of the current Vantage available with a manual gearbox, although…

Illustration Chris Rathbone Phil Popham is back in the business he likes best. The car industry. Four years as CEO of super-yacht maker Sunseeker – Eddie Jordan and Kimi Räikkönen are customers – and now he’s back on dry land. Though rather than working for Britain’s biggest car maker, Jaguar Land Rover – where he was marketing boss before heading to sea – he now heads up one of Britain’s smallest car companies, Lotus. Lotus is the serial underachiever of UK car makers. Bentley bloomed under Volkswagen ownership. Jaguar initially blossomed under Tata, Mini under BMW. Even Aston Martin has shown growth. Yet Lotus remains resolutely bottom of the class: unprofitable, tiny sales volume (just 1630 last year) and with a three-car range that is about as cutting-edge as a…

The annual Basel watch fair is like most of the world’s motor shows rolled into one, in both its physical size and in the number of new models that get launched there. It’s also a huge pain in the backside. Unlike a car show you can’t just wander onto the stands, but instead need an appointment to see anything. Serious watch hacks can easily spend five days there. I’d love to say that I went to Basel so you didn’t have to, but like anyone sensible I stayed at home and read about it all online. Still, here are three of my favourites. 01 I Nomos Glashütte Club Sport £3200 We’ve long loved Nomos watches for their elegant, restrained design. But until now they might have been a bit too…

Of the many forms of magic involved in developing a car, it’s the spells cast by the wizards in the ride and handling department that remain the most mysterious. The efforts needed to balance the conflicting requirements of ride comfort, dynamic handling and precise steering aren’t always appreciated by owners – at least until they’re absent. We bring together engineers from British companies at opposing ends of the spectrum, both with supernatural skills… Andy Unsworth: ‘Bentley’s target for the Bentayga was class-leading ride comfort combined with the dynamics you expect of a Bentley. Dynamic Ride, our 48-volt electric active anti-roll control system, does that. The active anti-roll bar gives us the ability in a straight line, or on a bumpy surface, to reduce roll control levels so you avoid the…

I think I can answer your most pressing Model 3 question now – yes, this is a car you should consider buying Like you, I have a lot of questions about the Tesla Model 3. But the most important one – whether it is a car you should genuinely consider buying – I think I can answer now. Yes, it is. Between now and that conclusion there’s a day and a half and more than 300 miles to cover, so let’s start at the beginning. Why are we in Norway to drive the Model 3, not in the UK? As we go to press, it’s just about to go on sale in the UK; by the time this magazine is in your hands, it will be. First deliveries are slated…

Depending on who you speak to at Skoda, the Scala’s Latin-derived name can mean either steps, as in ladder, or scale, as in spectrum. Whichever, it fits, for this car is an extension into new territory for Skoda: a proper C-segment hatchback to battle the Ford Focus and friends in the family-hatch heartland. Almost new territory, at least. Remember the Skoda Rapid? You’d be forgiven if you didn’t. A budget-conscious car with about as much flavour as boiled celery, it made little dent on the image-conscious UK market. This car isn’t a direct replacement for the Rapid – that car continues in selected overseas markets (in three-box form only; the hatch-shaped Rapid Spaceback is no more) and, half a size up, the Octavia still abides. The Scala is a step…

You leave your usual critical faculties behind as you slide over the artfully illuminated sills into the low, leathery, screen-heavy interior of the new Mercedes CLA. The packaging wasn’t very good before and it’s barely any better now. And dynamically it’s still not great. But there is no nicer car of this size to sit in, and no cooler four-door coupe to be seen in. It’s a big deal for Merc, not because it’s the biggest seller – that’s the C-Class – but because it’s getting people into Mercedes ownership for the first time. The much improved A-Class hatch and its saloon offshoot, not to mention the new B-Class, can share some of that job this time around, but Mercedes won’t want to give any ground to the likes of…

Illustration by Peter Strain ‘Over the last decade car makers have got lazy. The bar for April Fools’ jokes is now very low’ I know that by the time you read this, many weeks will have passed, but I think it’s important to raise a disappointing trend within the automotive industry: the ‘tradition’ of the April Fools’ press release. There was a time, years ago, when an April Fools’ hoax required commitment and effort. Like the BBC’s famous Panorama report on the spaghetti harvest in Switzerland, broadcast on 1 April 1957. If you haven’t already seen it, it’s worth a YouTube search, if only for the calm dignity of Richard Dimbleby’s voice as he describes the farmers pulling spaghetti off trees. Less well known but equally entertaining is the BBC…

There’s an honesty to the architecture in the town within a town that is modern Ferrari. The factory buildings, all endless corrugated sheet-metal and intestinal ducting, couldn’t look more like factory buildings if they tried. And among them, on a manicured plot with grass so perfect it looks like astroturf, you’ll find the dazzling edifice that is Ferrari’s Centro Stile. You don’t need the signs to know you’ve found the place that brings each and every new Ferrari into the world. This – all of this – is Flavio Manzoni’s baby. Since joining Ferrari he has built it all: its methods, philosophy, organisation, strategy – even the building it calls home, from the internal layout to the striking metal skin that welcomes in light just as it keeps safe its…

The Mazda is loaded with photography gear to shoot a Porsche 917 1 A QUICK RE-FUEL A quick pitstop en route to today’s shoot. It’s not the Mazda that needs it, as the 62-litre tank and 32mpg mean refills aren’t very frequent. The driver, however, needs copious amounts of refuelling. 2 ALL ABOARD The Mazda 6 loaded with my photographic gear to help shoot the first ever Porsche 917 at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground. Once emptied, the loadbay is also perfect for car-to-car tracking shots. 3 JOB DONE Work completed, I’ve just hit 120mph on the airfield straight (about half the 917’s top end) and now I’m off to find some B-roads on an off-piste return leg. 4 UP THE ROAD, WITH TWO PADDLES No 917-style balsa wood gearknob here, but…

Simon Thompson Trekking further afield wasn’t the logistical nightmare I anticipated With increasing rarity a car will come along delivering such a knockout punch in one specific area that it completely recalibrates your clemency counter, and you find yourself forgiving it for all its other shortcomings and foibles. Nissan’s new Leaf did that to me. Quite unexpectedly, too. Before it arrived I was thoroughly ambivalent about it, and the affordable electric revolution it spearheaded. There were the unfounded but pervasive concerns that it would slowly whirr to a silent halt at the most inopportune time and in the most inopportune location possible. There was all that faff with the army of smartphone apps and online accounts required to charge on the fly. A cursory glance at a sparsely-populated charger location…

Chris Teagles ‘My B10’s one of the first five of a 479-car run – the only examples to be based on the BMW 528i’ SEMINAL MOMENT I was 18, riding my bike, and I saw an Alpina C2 on the street. I’d never seen one before, and that’s where it started. Like all Alpinas it was a high-performance car, in this case based on an E30 3-series, but different to BMW M models, a lot rarer, and Sytner BMW was just down the road from me – they’d actually convert BMWs to Alpina spec there until around 1990 – so I had that connection too. BLASTS FROM THE PAST I bought a C2 first, still have it. Then I was looking around for something newer, but to be honest I…

THINKING THE UNTHINKABLE A Lotus crossover – or ‘four-door’ – has been in the mix since Jean-Marc Gales’ 2014-18 tenure, and it hasn’t gone away. It’s expected to use a version of Volvo’s SPA2 platform (above), set to see service in the next 60 and 90 cars from 2022. Lotus founder Colin Chapman was rigorous in his pursuit of light weight. At best, this Lotus will be light… for an SUV. HOW HYBRID SHOULD HETHEL GO? The biggest question is the extent to which the Lotus SUV’s powertrain will be electrified. With experience gleaned from the upcoming hypercar, a light PHEV powertrain (like the Volvo XC60 T8, below) could be on the cards, as might something more modest, such as Merc’s EQ Boost. The ‘four-door’ is expected to use a…

Monster mash-up The inspiration: The M-715 Five-Quarter draws on the look of old Jeep pick-ups that weighed one and a quarter tons, hence the name, with a bit of monster truck thrown in. The hardware: A 1968 M-715 upgraded with a carbonfibre front end, six-foot aluminium bed, chopped cab with convertible soft-top (and no headrests), the front bumper from a Gladiator Rubicon, and modern suspension in place of the original leaf springs. Which Avenger? Captain America: an old-timer rebooted for today. Destination: wilderness The inspiration: The Wayout takes visual cues from the original Willys pick-ups, kitted out for camping a long way off the beaten track. The hardware: An armoured Gladiator with a roof-top tent and canopy, plus a built-in ladder, riding on 37-inch mud tyres, with auxiliary fuel tanks,…

Remember Nio? The Chinese electric car maker shot to fame in 2017 with the launch of the EP9, a hotshot supercar that went on to claim the lap record for EVs at the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife. But there’s much more to Nio than just super-fast race cars masquerading as eco transport. The EP9 and Nio’s Formula E team are the Trojan horses for a deadly serious electric disruptor. The four-year-old start-up opened its doors to CAR at this spring’s Shanghai motor show, with access to the company’s founder and executive team. Here’s why you should take notice of the upstart Tesla wannabe from China. 1 | THE NEW NIO ET IS A MODEL S CLONE Proof that Nio should be taken seriously was provided in Shanghai by the global debut of…

Jaguar Land Rover is venturing into the murky world of cryptocurrencies. It’s testing a new system that has a ‘Smart Wallet’ paired to your car that can automatically pay for services like motorway tolls, congestion charging and parking. The tech, currently in F-Pace and Velar test vehicles, allows drivers to hold a digital currency value in the car, ‘removing the need for drivers to hunt for loose change or sign up to multiple accounts to pay for a variety of everyday services’ according to JLR. The additional benefit is that drivers will be able to earn credits for their car’s wallet for reporting things like potholes in the road or traffic congestion to local councils or navigation providers – credits that can then be kept and spent on your next…

It says much for the Model 3’s sheer charisma that you can find yourself overlooking an awful lot of niggles: the aforementioned iffy panel gaps and associated doubts about its long-term reliability; the Orwellian connectedness of a car whose secondary functions are intrinsically bound up in the internet (although that’s a factor that will surely soon apply to the majority of new cars); the cliquishness that owning one broadcasts to the world; the trust you place in a car that relies so heavily upon touchscreen control should that screen throw a fit. And yet. The Model 3’s serene (and surprisingly fun) driving experience, the ultra-modernity of its interior and the sheer now-ness of the car as a whole make its draw inexorable. The touchscreen is surprisingly usable on the move,…

Viva la… evolution? Meet the DS 3 Crossback, a replacement for the ageing DS 3 hatchback. What used to be a slick, three-door Mini rival now has rear doors, raised suspension and a beefed-up, SUV-ish body – and it’s the gateway to DS land. An important car, then. You’re welcomed by comfortable seats, flush door handles, LED headlights and the diamond shapes that dominate the dash and grille. The smallest DS model is now bigger and more expensive, starting above £21k, and the kit list has expanded too. Higher-spec models come with leather seats, head-up display, a 10-inch touchscreen and plenty of driver-assistance tech, including lane-keep assist and autonomous emergency braking. There’s more space in the rear seats than the Audi Q2, but less than the Mini Countryman, while boot…

With Turin’s cathedral packed by all types, from shopfloor workers to Fiat Chrysler’s top executives, Ferrari tifosi to politicians, mourners spilled into the surrounding piazza to listen to Sergio Marchionne’s memorial service relayed on speakers. It was a very public celebration of his life, and recognition of his business achievements: saving Fiat from bankruptcy after becoming CEO in 2004, astounding the industry by taking over Chrysler, spinning off Ferrari as a luxury car maker. The outpouring resembled the candlelit vigils and profound tributes triggered by the death of another industrial titan, Steve Jobs. The co-founder of Apple changed the world by finessing concepts for personal computers, digital music players and smartphones, wrapped in must-have product design. Subsequently, Apple’s reputation for innovation has taken a knock, even though Jobs’ successor Tim…

Driving a red Jaguar along a deserted Route Napoleon high above St Tropez early in the morning is a classic escapist driving fantasy. But in a Jaguar XE it feels like it’s the car escaping reality, not the driver. Up here, all that matters is what Jaguar does well. The revised XE drives with a rare harmony and fluidity, finding a sweet spot where power (not too much), ride and body control all balance rather than compete. It is simultaneously effortless and exciting, and you soon forget that you’re driving a saloon. In simpler times – when people bought saloons and Jaguar Land Rover made vast profits – just driving well might have been enough. But down there in reality, the XE’s maker has been caught in a near-perfect storm…

If one more wag asks me if I’ve got any spare tarmac for their driveway, I’m going to get back in my massive manly truck and run them over. Many times, in low range. Because, while the Mercedes-Benz X-Class I am now running is technically a commercial vehicle and exists in a subset in which tools are stored and heavy machine guns mounted, it may be classed as an outlier. For it is probably the most luxurious commercial vehicle money can buy, apart from a few blinged-up Caravelles and Vitos kitted out for carrying VIPs to the steps of their private jets, and the A-Team van, of course. The point of running a pick-up truck in a magazine called CAR is to see whether this mighty beast is actually a…

Alex Tapley The least striking aspects so far are the normal car things – the engine, the chassis It takes 28 days between this DS arriving at CAR and me seeing my first other DS 7 Crossback on the road. It’s quite a moment. I do a double take. My jaw drops a fraction. I very nearly wave. And I’m astounded by how huge it looks. Now, finally, I understand why so many pedestrians and other drivers react so strongly to the sight of the French crossover. I had thought it was just confusion over the badge – a squiggle that says DS if you know it says DS, but even then still requires a high degree of swottiness to process and position correctly, like when you see a Honda…

The Audi A6 is, in many ways, a very good car. It’s spacious for my family and all our kit, build quality is excellent, technology impresses, it’s lovely and quiet at a cruise – this is all extremely good. But I’m not loving driving the A6, for several reasons. To recap, this is the entry-level 40 TDI, which means a 2.0-litre turbodiesel with front-wheel drive, seven-speed dual-clutch auto and fixed dampers with steel springs. This combination is a problem. The electrically assisted steering is odd: you can waggle it left and right about an inch from top dead centre and nothing happens. This may enhance stability at an autobahn cruise, but it makes the car feel disconnected from the road and binary in the way it responds – nothing at…

If everything goes to plan and Easyjet is actually running on time, I can roll out of bed in Sussex at 5am and be walking into the Geneva motor show just three and a quarter hours later. It takes a very appealing car to make me swap that for the 600-mile, 12-hour drive there. I’d recently taken delivery of this Discovery with its new 302bhp SDV6 diesel engine, and was of course professionally curious about its long-distance chops. But what persuaded me was what else the Disco would let me do. I’d be able to bring two bikes and maybe ride a lap of the lake, or over the low mountain passes around Lake Annecy. The colossal boot meant I’d be able to carry both bikes inside the car –…
